After waiting and waiting, we finally have some art from next months new series from IDW, Transformers: The Reign of Starscream.

The series is the official continuation of the Transformers movie and concentrates on the sneaky Decepticon Starscream. The script is written by Chris Mowry and Chris Ryall with art from Alex Milne and Josh Perez, the same artists who did the Transformers Movie Adaptation comic.

The series will attempt to explain oddities from the film and will visit Cybertron and another planet.

Beast Wars Sourcebook Errors Needed

Written by Big Bot on | Beast Wars,Beast Wars II,Beast Wars Neo,Comics,IDW Publishing,News | Tags: , —

Over the last couple of months, IDW have released the four part series, Beast Wars Sourcebooks, which bring together characters from Beast wars, Beast Wars II and Beast wars Neo and give them profiles. Unfortunately, the books weren’t a complete success, with text and colouring errors as well as complaints from fans that the images were too small and incomplete and that the profiles didn’t make the characters unique enough.

New IDW Editor Denton J. Tipton has posted on the IDW forums asking for a complete list of errors in the books so that they can be corrected for the TPB release. Dan Khanna will be helping with colour corrections, with the added bonus that some extra artwork will be included as well as the missing glossary. Ben Yee will also be involved.

So if you want a more complete and accurate collection, get involved.
